Month: August 2017

Gamescom is one of Europe’s largest gaming fairs, and NetherRealm Studios has some big announcements planned for it.

Scheduled for the 23rd through the 26th in Cologne, Germany, Gamescom 2017 will be the site of a celebrity Injustice 2 match, between world famous DJs Steve Aoki and Don Diablo. From the match, there will be a donation of $5,000 to be made to the Aoki Foundation (founded by Steve Aoki) whose goal is to fund research in regenerative medicine and brain preservation, and to provide support for disaster relief, developmental disabilities, and animal rights. The match will be livestreamed on both Twitch and NetherRealm. On-site, players can see the action live at the Twitch stage, located in Halle 9, A-052.

On the same stream, NetherRealm Studios intends to make an exclusive announcement revealing the next three Injustice 2 DLC characters, that will be released in Fighter Pack #2. At long last, maybe we’ll get confirmation on who some of the completely impossible to guess silhouettes are…
